Using the ADS Assessor Platform

Using the ADS Assessor Platform

The ADS Assessor Platform is the operational engine behind your SCS journey. It’s where you complete pillar assessments, track your maturity, and generate formal outputs. While the Knowledge Hub provides guidance, background, and tools, the platform is where your actual assessment and certification process takes place.

This page explains how the platform works, what you’ll use it for, and where to go for help if you’re not yet onboarded.

Walkthrough: How to Use the Platform

To help you get started confidently, we’ve created a step-by-step demo of the platform.

What You’ll Use the Platform For

Once your organisation is registered, the Assessor Platform becomes your central workspace for:

  • Launching and completing assessments across the Competitiveness, ESG, and Digital & Cyber pillars

  • Using the standard 0–3 maturity scale, with inputs for Current, Compliance, and Target scores

  • Attaching supporting evidence (where applicable)

  • Receiving automated recommendations based on your scoring profile

  • Generating downloadable reports in multiple formats

  • Tracking your certification status and progress over time

  • Re-entering assessments for continuous improvement as your organisation evolves


Platform vs Knowledge Hub

Think of the Knowledge Hub as your instruction manual and learning guide, and the Assessor Platform as your workspace.
